Warp

Modern, open-source terminal reimagined for agentic development.

Overview

Warp is a modern, open-source terminal reimagined for agentic development. It evolved from a developer-focused terminal tool into a comprehensive platform where developers and AI agents collaborate to ship software faster. The platform supports multiple AI models and agents—including Claude Code, GPT, Gemini, and Warp's own agent—with fine-grained control over autonomy and execution.

The Warp ecosystem includes Warp Terminal (the core terminal interface), Warp Agent (an orchestration-native coding agent), Warp Agent CLI (a standalone CLI for any terminal), and Oz Agent Platform (for cloud-based agent deployment). Teams can use Warp for code review, bug investigation, refactoring, and incident response, with integrations into Slack, Linear, and GitHub.

Warp emphasizes security and transparency: it's SOC 2 compliant, maintains zero data retention with LLM providers, and gives users complete control over agent autonomy and data handling.

Use this if

You need a modern terminal with integrated AI agents, want to automate development workflows, require multi-model AI support, or are building an agentic development platform for your team.

Skip this if

You prefer a lightweight terminal without AI features, need a web-based IDE, or require on-premises-only deployment without cloud options.
